Realtor.com released its list of the hottest zip codes in America today, and for the second year in a row, the zip code of 76148 in Watauga was named No. 1.

“Millennials are the largest generation in U.S. history and they are flexing their muscle when it comes to the housing market,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist for realtor.com®. “Increasingly, the hottest housing markets are the ones that appeal to millennial preferences, and right now the standouts are relatively affordable suburbs with local ‘it’ factors such as hiking trails, great restaurants, and nightlife,”
